2009-2010 Southwest Basketball Schedule Released
A total of 28 home games highlight the 2009-2010 Southwest men's and women's basketball schedule which was released today. The men's team will open with an exhibition on October 24 against the Spirit Express at the Verties Sails Gymnasium. A week later on October 31, the Saluqis and Lady Saluqis will play the annual Alumni Games before tipping off the regular season on November 6-7.
Both teams will start their season against outstanding competition, with the men traveling to Chicago, Illinois, for the Kennedy-King College Tip-Off Classic, and the women journeying to Eunice, Louisiana, to play in the Lady Bengal Classic. The 2009-2010 schedule features an 18-game Tennessee Community College Athletic Association slate with two games against each of the nine conference opponents. Southwest will open conference play on November 13 against Chattanooga State Technical Community College at the Verties Sail Gymnasium.
The men's team will also play non-conference games at Mineral Area College (Parkhills, Missouri) and at home against Mississippi Elite Christian Academy, Kennedy-King College and Genesis One Prep. The women's team will play in the Georgia Perimeter Classic in Atlanta, Georgia and will host the Lady Saluqi Classic. Both teams will also play at home against Arkansas Baptist College.
This season's National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region VII tournament will be hosted by Columbia State Community College in Columbia, Tennessee, March 3-8, 2010. The tournament champions will advance to the NJCAA National Tournament March 16-20, 2010 in Hutchinson, Kansas (men), and Salina, Kansas (women).
